Hi, y'all, from the land of magnolias!!  

Jess has reserved our retreat dates in 2015 for Wednesday, March 11 through Monday, March 16. The price is $395. We will be at the Quilter’s Cabin in Tomball, TX, once again!!

Each retreater will be asked to purchase, prepare and serve one of the following: a single Brunch, Dinner, or Dessert for the entire group. We will go out for one dinner, just like we do each year. And again, we will have a shop-hop outing in combination with dinner out on Friday (subject to change of day, of course)!

Here is the link to the Official Tomball 2015 T-Shirt.

Jess will design a Mystery Quilt project for the group to work on. You will, of course, be free to bring your own project(s) if you prefer. Cutting instructions will be posted in advance. The Quilt and Needle & Happily Ever After Quilts will each provide fabric kits for your shopping pleasure, but those will also be an optional purchase.

And here’s a SWEET treat just for you Tomballers:  this year’s retreat fee will include the cost of the mystery pattern!!!  whoohooo!!
If you order a fabric kit for the mystery from either The Quilt and Needle or from Happily Ever After Quilts, you will be given a code to deduct the cost of the pattern from the kit price.

The non-refundable deposit to hold your place is $50. You can mail it to:
The Quilt and Needle
P.O. Box 265
Wellborn, TX 77881
USA

Overseas members – You may send your deposits via PayPal.

Everyone else - please send a check directly to Jess if you can, so that she doesn’t have to pay transaction fees on it.

Ladies, we can’t stress this enough – we think this retreat is going to fill up REALLY fast. We know most of this year's retreaters have already decided to come back!! So please make a post or send Jess jess@thequiltandneedle.com or me cindy@thequiltandneedle.com an e-mail and let one of us know if you are sending your deposit – AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! We only have 12 spaces!!

Jess and I are counting down the days already!! Come one, Come all!

Also, if you have any fabrics/patterns/notions/magazines/quilty “whatevers” that you want to bring to trade or give away, start stockpiling those – perhaps this year we will have a trade night or perhaps even a silent auction rather than an actual game . . . hmmmmm . . . let me think on this . . .

laura, I think the deadline is like the week before assuming there has ever actually been a deadline . . .

when you know you're coming, give Jess your deposit and that seals the deal
